Title: detect display size
Post by: vurentjie on June 22, 2008, 10:26:01 pm

hi,

i was wondering if it was at all possible to include a function that will detect the screen width and height, so that windows can be automatically opened at a maximum size,

i did do a bit of research on the topic, if you do consider adding this feature this might help,


On windows:

Code: [Select]


  screenwidth = (GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXFULLSCREEN ));
  screenheight = (GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYFULLSCREEN ));


On X11:

Code: [Select]


  Display *display_name;

 display_name = XOpenDisplay(NULL);

             screenwidth = DisplayWidth(display_name,screen);
             screenheight = DisplayHeight(display_name,screen);


On mac, using carbon

Code: [Select]


   
   Rect outAvailableRect;

        GetAvailableWindowPositioningBounds ( GetMainDevice(), &outAvailableRect);

        screenwidth = outAvailableRect.right - outAvailableRect.left;
        screenheight = outAvailableRect.bottom - outAvailableRect.top;


I am not sure if these are totally correct or if it is covers all that is needed, but please consider this.

later

sf::VideoMode::GetDesktopMode() already does that ;)
